Enhancement of launch window tools and software shall be as negotiated with the TM or their designee and shall strive to improve the quality, ease of use, and speed of producing results. Finally, support shall include documenting and reporting results to the Project and supporting TM presenting results to the Project and/or international partners.

Meeting and Review Support: The contractor shall participate in Project reviews and meetings as required. These reviews include Flight Operations System reviews, Technical Interchange Meetings, Commissioning Timeline meetings, Ground Systems Operations weekly meetings, Architecture, Rehearsal, Launch Segment, Contingency, MCC, Limits and Constraints and other various Project Working Group (WG) meetings.

The contractor shall participate in and record minutes for all official meetings supported and for the weekly Flight Dynamics Team (FDT) meeting, the monthly NMDB status meeting, the weekly FDT Management/Leadership meeting and other internal team meetings.

The contractor shall produce documentation and present at Operations Readiness Reviews, (ORR) dry run and final review, and support Project-level launch and mission operations readiness reviews and any peer reviews required by the NMDB.

Documentation for each review shall be delivered 2 weeks prior to the review. The contractor shall support in the resolution of review Requests for Action (RFAs) within 3 months or the next review, whichever is earlier unless otherwise directed by the TM.

As part of the review and meeting support, the contractor shall provide input and support for Level 4 and above requirements verification at the Project level, which may include writing and submitting Requirements Verification Reports and participating in the Requirements Verification Working Group.

Document Review: The contractor shall review and provide comments on relevant Project documents, including propulsion system modeling documents, DSN Operations ICD, the PSLA, the SN Interface Agreement Document, the Ground System Requirements

This period is expected to last between 1 to 6 weeks. The team will be reduced after this period to an early mission routine operations level of support, and then further to the routine operations support level of about 4 full time people.

The contractor shall provide at least one trained FD Liaison person he at the Science and Operations Center (S&OC) for the actual launch and early orbit operations (up to 72 hours).

RTO 3

Flight Dynamics Facility (FDF) Mission Development and Operations

Summary of Work

This task order statement of work (SOW) describes hypothetical support requirements for missions new to the FDF. The purpose of including an RTO for FDF operations support is to allow the contractor to illustrate the range of experience, skills, and innovative processes that it would apply to the development of the capabilities needed to support these missions.

The support required by this statement of work covers two areas, described in detail in Section V of the SOW below:

Ground System Development and Launch Support for the Achilles Launch Vehicle (ALV)

Launch and Early Orbit Support to the Three Blind Mice (TBM) Mission

The contractor shall expect to work closely with the Government’s Task Monitor (TM) for this task, and to work with NASA and contractor personnel as well as NASA’s partners in other Government agencies, industry, and academia when needed to accomplish the technical objectives of the task.

Details of the work by subtask are provided below. This work will generally require the contractor to utilize a mix of GSFC in-house and commercial-off-the-shelf orbit determination and mission planning software in performance of the work items. The contractor may, in some situations, propose the use of their own proprietary software.

The technical and cost advantage to the Government should be clearly justified.

Period of Performance

The period during which the work for this task shall be performed begins January 1, 2020 and ends on December 31, 2020.

Work Location

All (100%) of this work is expected to occur at the FDF at Goddard Space Flight Center

(GSFC).

Government Property

The Government will provide the facility and facility services for mission support functions performed onsite at GSFC. Within these onsite facilities, the Government will provide office and workstation furniture that are required to manage and operate the spacecraft and its ground support elements.

A summary of other Government-furnished equipment that may be applicable to this task is available in the FDSS Bidder’s Library.

Specific Tasks The contractor shall perform the following specific tasks during the period specified in Section II.

Ground System Development and Launch Support for the Achilles Launch Vehicle (ALV)

The ALV is a new launch vehicle being developed by NASA to deliver large payloads to low earth orbit. The organization at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) that is responsible for building the vehicle has just entered into an agreement with the Space Network (SN) and the Near Earth Network (NEN) to provide vehicle command and telemetry capabilities to the operations center at KSC for the maiden flight on November 15, 2020. The SN and the NEN have just required the FDF to provide the acquisition data for the vehicle.

Nothing else is currently known about the ALV.

The contractor shall perform the following activities:

• Develop an assessment of infrastructure (hardware, software, interfaces, etc.)

requirements needed to support the vehicle’s maiden flight.

• Develop the capabilities (including proposing and performing relevant tests) needed for this support, as identified in the above assessment.

• Support prelaunch preparations, including testing, simulations, training, documentation, reviews, and analysis as needed.

• Launch day support, including relevant product deliveries.

• Post launch analysis, assuming support to future ALVs.

Launch and Early Orbit Support to the Three Blind Mice (TBM) Mission

The TBM mission consists of three university-built cubesats being deployed from the ALV during its maiden launch on November 15, 2020. The university has been planning to use Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) Two Line Elements (TLEs) for navigation.

The university has recently been told that these TLEs may not meet their navigation requirements and has reached out to the FDF for support.

The contractor shall perform the following activities:

• Provide a report of recommendations to the TM by February 28, 2020 addressing options for meeting the mission’s navigation requirements.

Deliverable Items and Schedules

All deliverables are specified in Section V.

Travel

Non-local travel is not required for this task. The contractor may propose non-local travel for technical meetings or other activities that enable the completion of tasks listed in this SOW.

Reporting Requirements The contractor shall report status to the TM and the FDF Operations Director on a daily basis. The contractor shall propose the process by which these Government representatives are apprised of the status of the activities on this task and the process by which open actions and concerns are tracked to closure. The contractor shall support the preparation of materials for technical discussions and presentations when needed. The contractor shall compile the results of technical analyses into technical reports for archival purposes and when appropriate, into conference-quality papers for external audiences.

Security Requirements When working inside the GSFC perimeter or online any GSFC networks, the contractor shall maintain compliance with all GSFC IT security guidelines. Access to classified information is not required for this task.

Risk Management Requirements The contractor shall perform risk management according to all applicable NASA policy directives, including, but not limited to, the applicable versions of NPR 8000.4 and/or

NPR 7120.5.

Electronic Information Technology Compliance The contractor shall maintain compliance with all applicable NASA policies concerning electronic and information technology accessibility, including, but not limited to, 36 CFR Part 1194, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, etc., or document exemptions based on NASA-approved rationale and documentation, including but not limited to NASA Procurement Information Circular 05–01.
